Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Happy Sunday everyone and hope you had a wonderful holiday break. Welcome to the Autonomous Platforms of the Future Newsletter, designed to inform you about future game changing products, technologies, and platforms. This week's newsletter topic is on AI and Autonomy, which are impacting the future capabilities of autonomous platforms in land, space, sea, and air.

Let's first define what Autonomy and A.I. are in relation to Autonomous platforms.

Autonomy - is a system's ability to accomplish goals independently, or with minimal supervision from human operators in environments that are complex and unpredictable.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) - is the capability of machines (either platforms or computer software) to operate independent of direct human intervention, but within constraints, to achieve a goal or solve a problem.

Autonomy has the potential to revolutionize the way humans connect, protect, explore and inspire.

But autonomy is about more than just the latest unmanned product. It’s about purposeful innovation in areas like persistence and intelligence. The true value of autonomy lies in its ability to help customers stay on mission longer, cover more area and provide more immediate, actionable knowledge – prioritizing manpower for the most important actions and decisions.

It’s about understanding the challenges of certain missions, knowing the systems already in place, and having the ability to integrate intelligent and flexible autonomous solutions to help make existing systems smarter, missions safer and operations more efficient. It’s about applying that power of autonomy from seabed to space – because the potential to communicate and collaborate across domains in real-time can revolutionize how humans approach some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

In my opinion, that's why I believe Autonomy and A.I. will shape how communicate and connect with these autonomous platforms. As the government pushes for a common Autonomy software for the use in the combat realm, it will be key to continue advancing A.I. and Autonomy software for commercial uses as it will be operating for various capabilities.

Thanks for joining me this week. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
